If it walks like a duck, sounds like a duck, looks like a duck and swims like a duck, then it's probably a goddamned duck ... you don't need to spend million of bucks trying to prove it's really an elephant. Many countries, my own among them, looked at the same evidence that Britain and the US did, and saw no convincing evidence for the existence of WMDs .... Why? It's not because we are more perceptive .... the evidence, or lack of it, was there for everyone to see .... wide open ... no mystery, no smoke, no mirrors. I can understand why Bush decided on the war, but, for the life of me, I can't see why you Brits went along with it. Were your bullshlt deflectors not working in the weeks running up to the war? I mean, it was so obvious that the war was wrong, a real no-brainer.

And for Jaysay: if there are pigs flying over Ossy, a reinforced umbrella might be in order if you venture outside

I'll pass on the brolly Eric and stay indoors I've been dumped on from a great hight far to often
